Counselling and psychotherapy fees are either paid out-of-pocket or through your insurance benefits.
Counselling fees – Out-of-Pocket
$140 per 60 min appointment (+HST). As of March 1st fees will be $150 per 60 min appointment (+HST). Longer or shorter appointments can also be booked depending on your needs. If you are in financial need I can offer a sliding scale.
I accept email money transfers and credit cards. To reserve an initial appointment I request that an e-transfer is sent before the appointment. I will accept the e-transfer and send a receipt after the appointment.
Receipts not submitted to insurance coverage may be tax deductible as medical expenses. Please check with your accountant to confirm.
Insurance coverage
My services are often reimbursable under extended health insurance plans. I would encourage you to call your benefits provider:
- ask if Psychological Services are covered and if so what providers are covered (e.g. Reg Psychotherapists, or Reg Psychologists etc)
- how much you have available per year
- when your benefits renew
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and more and more providers are accepting this designation.
My services can often also be covered of a Registered Psychologist because I receive supervision from one. In order to be eligible for this we’d need to communicate a little more prior to any appointment. For those paying through this system I request payment is made at the end of sessions by credit card only. I provide you with a receipt which you submit to your health insurance provider for reimbursement.
Once you clarify your insurance details, please contact me with any queries.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel an appointment, please give at least 48 hours’ notice.
Once an appointment is scheduled, without due notice, you will be expected to pay a $80 + HST late cancellation fee.
If you don’t attend a booked appointment you are responsible for the full fee.
Thank you for understanding.
